He Admires His Picture.

A singular story was told me of the way in
which a great mastiff who had never been in
the city manifested his opposition to being
taken" After some little trouble he was
placed i'm position facing the instrument, and
remained quiet till the photographer pulled
the cloth from in front of his lens and let the
big glass eye stare at the huge dog. This was
two much for the mastiff, who Mt once sprang
at the machine and pulled it down before his
owner could interfere to prevent his doing
any further damage. Then, after quieting
the animal AMI letting him see what was
wanted of him, he submitted calmly TO being
taken and was SO pleased with his photo
graph that n copy is kept in his kennel firmly
fastened by Il frame and covered by "A glass,

Born Under "a Lucky Star.

The mail sometimes presents unexpected

made n large Investment in a certain western
enterprise took trip to look over the prop

up his mind to sell out quietly. Being sur
rounded hy the promoters of the enterprise,
he preferred to trust his directions to the
mail rather than the wire, as the stick" in the
local office might be read, and the letter GER
tainly could not be perused in transit by any
TO whom it's insructions would convey any
meaning. The etter took four or five days to
reach Boston, and in tnat time the stock had
taken skyrocket flight. The broker sold Mt
once, and the result of the transaction was an
enormous profit to the absent investor, more
than ten times what he would have cleared

years, who were impressed by that famous
work, "Fox's Book of Martyrs" that they de-
termined to initiate the events therein mar
rated Dill they, then, proceed to sit upon
grilirons, or to twist each others noses with
pincers, Not much. 1t was not the martyrs
but the executioners they wanted to emulate.
They accordingly captured two pet pullets
belonging to "a neighbor, and, tying them to
a stake, built fire and roasted them to
death" IL is not stated, hut it is most
sincerely to be hoped, that the parents Of

Biggest Balloon of All.

Capt Morton, the well known Birmingham
aeronaut. is building balloon which is to whip
creation. 1t is to be made in thirty sections,
each sixty feet in length, and there is upward
of 1900 yards of sewing to be done by hand
and machine. This fabric, which is being
manufactured in France, is an intermixture
of silk and cambria, and will be woven very
strongly, but TO weigh as light as possible
Capt. Morton intends having it coated with
special preparation, consisting of the best
india rubber, as he considers, after many
years experience, that it will be better
adapted in every way for ballooning purposes
than the old fashioned method of oiling He
also finds that it forms q perfect gas holder
and offers n better resistance to the elements
The valves will be improved upon, and will
be fitted with four powerful springs, thus
Keeping the shutters close as possible to the
plunge, and preventing a leakage OF tho light
gas. The netting, although light, will be Of
great strength, and Messrs. Gorton & Sons,
of Dudley, will supply the materials, which
will consist of the finest italian hemp. Capt
Morton expects to complete the machine for
Whit, week, and hopes to arrange for its
ascent in Birmingham. He will use it for his
voyage in August from Dover to France in
the Channel balloon racc.-Boston Transcript.

IA do not like to lend it to any one, she will

a continual worry until its return.
II brought back safely, you are very
thankful, for it was hardly what you ex-

is nothing to be done but TO accept her
apology.
She tells you she is sincerely sorry that
ANYTHING should have happened to it, and, if
the article was something that it was neces-
sary for her to have, you excuse her willingly;
but usually this is not the case, for it is
something that she does not need. unless for
ornamentation, and you can't help thinking
that she might have done without It. An
accident Of this kind would deter most wo-
men from borrowing from the SAM person

she is ready to borrow the very next
day from the same person, providing
she has anything that she may want.
She thinks that people may not
wish to loan some things, yet will often do so,
really against their Judgment, rather than
refuse, thinking a refusal might hurt her
feelings She is always one of the best ma

is really sincere when she says, you

she seldom has anything you want.

quently been offered and refused. died ON
Thursday at the residence of its owner, Capt
Frederic Perkins, Brooklyn. He was a re-
markable lingITist, and, although of Oriental
nativity, spoke English with great nuency.
A Christian Chinaipan, one of thousands of
people that visited the bird, said that he was
of a genus rare in the Celestial empire, but
that specimens had been infrequently seen
within about ten miles of Canton, and he at
tributed to it many of the characteristics of
the American starting. His breast and back
was of beautiful drab or dove color. the
wings and tail of rich velvety black tipped
with white, the head surnlounted with tuft
of black hair like feathers; legs and bill yell
low; long, sharp talons, like those of a hawk,
and small, vicious gray eye of peculiar
shape He was the size of kingfisher. Many
fancied that he was Pagoda mynah tie
menuchus pagodarumD, but the best authori
ties repudiated the suggestion. Capt. Perkins
received the following from Professor j. ID.
Holden, of the Central park geological col
lection, after forwarding a minute descrip-
ton of the bird and asking for its tribe:
DEAR SRI have looked several works
that have and find nothing concerning the

count, but find that it only repeats what we all

Cinnamon believe that because of the start
ling intelligence and apparent conversational
mot merely verbal powers of the bird it
of Chinese was unbounded. Among his mi
metic powers were accurate limitations of
coughing, sneezing. crying, laughing, sharp
ening of knife, drawing nails, grating nut
megs, saving wood, filing a saw, barking of a
dog and other sounds, given with wonderful
precision. It actually conversed with Capt.
Perkins, and apparently was made aware of
the approach of his master by instinct. SO
soon as the captain came near his home the
bird would screech u welcome Of Hello, Cap,
dinner is all ready!" or, This way for Rock
away, Cap~ He whistled an air like a
human being, and the house dog would
spond to his call. He understood everything
that said to him The captain, in pleas
ant weather, would take Jack into the street

for his master was so strong and so wonder
fully manifested that the latter had no fear
of his eIopement "Ahrr said the captain. to
